This business model, if it takes root, will eradicate the existing stock market. Even if you sign up for a commission you just feed the site to get a customer base, and once that base is established you will just receive 100% of nothing while the own content will be promoted.
You should think really well before supporting business models that will destroy your very livelihood.

--- Quote from: Justanotherphotographer on December 16, 2015, 06:28 ---Is the other content wholly owned or is like their other sites where they paid the copyright holders some paltry sum (much less than an EL) to be able to sell the content in perpetuity without any further compensation?
I have just had a thought. Who thinks they will soon be approaching the best selling people on the PPD side with an offer to licence their portfolios in the same way as graphicstock (their other site)?
I think they are just using the set up to be able to chose only the people that sell to license to the sub site, so the quality of their subs offering will increase and PPD decrease until the opposite of the current situation is the case, best stuff on the subs side with no further compensation to contributors.

Agencies are not sport teams and we are not fans. This is not about support. This is about how to maintain a halfway sustainable market.

Only been on VideoBlocks for a couple of weeks and I've had two sales already. Two weeks is a bit too short for me to embrace it as a the new promised land, but we'll see how it goes! It is pretty nice to see $47.16 for one sale though, puts iStock to shame!
